Australia Probes Navy 'Sex Game'

Australia probes navy 'sex game'

HMAS Success carries a crew of 220 male and female sailors

An investigation is under way in Australia over claims that navy sailors competed with each other to bed their female colleagues for cash prizes. According to Channel Seven news, sailors on board HMAS Success put a cash value on each woman's head.

Sleeping with a female officer or a lesbian, or having sex in a strange place, won more money, the report said.

The Defence Department confirmed that a number of individuals had been sent back to Australia for interviews.

HMAS Success, which has a crew of 220, is currently on exercises in South East Asia.

According to the Channel Seven report, the contest came to light in May, when the vessel was in Singapore.

It said that the sailors recorded their efforts in a book called The Ledger, challenging each other to sleep with as many female colleagues as possible.

Sex on a pool table or with a lesbian reportedly scored higher points. The Defence Department did not confirm how many sailors were involved.

To be worth *more* points, Austrailian lesbians must differ markedly from their Northern Hemispheric counterparts. They may represent a novelty or difficulty factor, but that would by no means outweigh the likely GUILTY verdict, as well as putting their pool table at considerable structural risk.

The Australian Navy must be a real swinging place.

Imagine what it will be like in a few years when the homosexuals are serving openly aboard ship. The berthing areas will become dens of debauchery and other unspeakable vices.

Let me see, you lock up hundreds of lusty young people of opposite sexes in a boat for months at a time, with no place else to go, and then you are surprised when nature takes its course. Since there appears to be no rape involved in this, I take it that the lesbians were not totally committed to that cause.

Intentional? “Lesbians” and “outweigh” in consecutive sentences? Reminds me of several crude, cruel jokes.

Well come on. It is the navy. And as Churchill once scoffed when someone brought up British naval tradition, “Tradition! Sodomy and the whip.”

Using “Probes” and “Sex Game” in the same headline is probably inappropriate! LOL

Actual quote, “”Don’t talk to me about naval tradition, it’s all rum, sodomy and the lash!”

Unfortunately, Winnie never said it, although he said he wished that he had.
